The first week’s fan voting had eight Sounders in starting positions. That number increased to nine a week later and now has cracked double figures for an expansion team that leads the MLS in attendance and has been the talk of the league in its initial year.

Fan voting continues through July 6.

The only non-Sounder among the MLS’s current First XI is Los Angeles Galaxy forward Landon Donovan. He’s ahead of Seattle’s Nate Jaqua, the only Sounder regular not cracking the lineup at this point.

Those selected will play in the 14th annual MLS All-Star Game, with the MLS squad facing Everton of the English Premier League on July 29 in Sandy, Utah.

However, fan voting is only 25 percent of the selection process. Media, players and coaches/general managers each get a 25-percent voice as well and the rest of the league surely will get more support in those votes.

Fans can vote for a starting goalkeeper, three defenders, five midfielders and two forwards by registering here on the league’s website.

Sounders goalkeeper Kasey Keller remains the runaway vote getter among fans, according to the mlsnet.com story.

Seattle’s Tyrone Marshall, Jhon Kennedy Hurtado and James Riley are the three top defenders, with Columbus Crew veteran Frankie Hejduk close behind Riley.

The Sounders have the top five midfielders with Freddie Ljungberg, Osvaldo Alonso, Brad Evans, Steve Zakuani and Sebastian Le Toux, though the story says Columbus star Guillermo Barros Schelotto and Toronto FC’s Dwayne De Rosario are closing in on Le Toux.

Seattle’s Fredy Montero joins Donovan as the top two forwards, with Jaqua, Chicago’s Brian McBride and Juan Pablo Angel of the New York Red Bulls next in line.
